FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to novel compounds and to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds. This invention also relates to methods for preventing and/or treating pain and inflammation-related conditions in mammals, such as (but not limited to) arthritis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, uveitis, asthma, myocardial infarction, the treatment and prophylaxis of pain syndromes (acute and chronic or neuropathic), traumatic brain injury, acute spinal cord injury, neurodegenerative disorders, alopecia (hair loss), inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune disorders, using the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of the invention.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Studies of signaling pathways in the body have revealed the existence of ion channels and sought to explain their role. Ion channels are integral membrane proteins with two distinctive characteristics: they are gated (open and closed) by specific signals such as membrane voltage or the direct binding of chemical ligands and, once open, they conduct ions across the cell membrane at very high rates.

There are many types of ion channels. Based on their selectivity to ions, they can be divided into calcium channel, potassium channel, sodium channel, etc. The calcium channel is more permeable to calcium ions than other types of ions, the potassium channel selects potassium ions over other ions, and so forth. Ion channels may also be classified according to their gating mechanisms. In a voltage-gated ion channel, the opening probability depends on the membrane voltage, whereas in a ligand-gated ion channel, the opening probability is regulated by the binding of small molecules (the ligands). Since ligand-gated ion channels receive signals from the ligand, they may also be considered as “receptors” for ligands.

Examples of ligand-gated ion channels include nAChR (nicotinic acetylcholine receptor) channel, GluR (glutamate receptor) channel, ATP-sensitive potassium channel, G-protein activated channel, cyclic-nucleotide-gated channel, etc.

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channel proteins constitute a large and diverse family of proteins that are expressed in many tissues and cell types. This family of channels mediates responses to nerve growth factors, pheromones, olfaction, tone of blood vessels and metabolic stress et al., and the channels are found in a variety of organisms, tissues and cell types including nonexcitable, smooth muscle and neuronal cells. Furthermore, TRP-related channel proteins are implicated in several diseases, such as several tumors and neurodegenerative disorders and the like. See, for example, Minke, et al., APStracts 9:0006P (2002).

Nociceptors are specialized primary afferent neurons and the first cells in a series of neurons that lead to the sensation of pain. The receptors in these cells can be activated by different noxious chemical or physical stimuli. The essential functions of nociceptors include the transduction of noxious stimuli into depolarizations that trigger action potentials, conduction of action potentials from primary sensory sites to synapses in the central nervous system, and conversion of action potentials into neurotransmitter release at presynaptic terminals, all of which depend on ion channels.

One TRP channel protein of particular interest is the vanilloid receptor. Also known as VR1, the vanilloid receptor is a non-selective cation channel which is activated or sensitized by a series of different stimuli including capsaicin, heat and acid stimulation and products of lipid bilayer metabolism (anandamide), and lipoxygenase metabolites. See, for example Smith, et al., Nature, 418:186-190 (2002). VR1 does not discriminate among monovalent cations, however, it exhibits a notable preference for divalent cations with a permeability sequence of Ca²⁺>Mg²⁺>Na⁺=K⁺=Cs⁺. Ca²⁺ is especially important to VR1 function, as extracellular Ca²⁺ mediates desensitization, a process which enables a neuron to adapt to specific stimuli by diminishing its overall response to a particular chemical or physical signal. VR1 is highly expressed in primary sensory neurons in rats, mice and humans, and innervates many visceral organs including the dermis, bones, bladder, gastrointestinal tract and lungs. It is also expressed in other neuronal and non-neuronal tissues including the CNS, nuclei, kidney, stomach and T-cells. The VR1 channel is a member of the superfamily of ion channels with six membrane-spanning domains, with highest homology to the TRP family of ion channels.

VR1 gene knockout mice have been shown to have reduced sensory sensitivity to thermal and acid stimuli. See, for example, Caterina, et al. Science, 14:306-313 (2000). This supports the concept that VR1 contributes not only to generation of pain responses but also to the maintenance of basal activity of sensory nerves. VR1 agonists and antagonists have use as analgesics for the treatment of pain of various genesis or etiology, for example acute, inflammatory and neuropathic pain, dental pain and headache (such as migraine, cluster headache and tension headache). They are also useful as anti-inflammatory agents for the treatment of arthritis, Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, stroke, uveitis, asthma, myocardial infarction, the treatment and prophylaxis of pain syndromes (acute and chronic [neuropathic]), traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, neurodegenerative disorders, alopecia (hair loss), inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune disorders, renal disorders, obesity, eating disorders, cancer, schizophrenia, epilepsy, sleeping disorders, cognition, depression, anxiety, blood pressure, lipid disorders, and atherosclerosis.

Compounds, such as those of the present invention, which interact with the vanilloid receptor can thus play a role in treating or preventing or ameliorating these conditions.

Other derivatives of the compounds of this invention have activity in both their acid and acid derivative forms, but in the acid sensitive form often offers advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in the mammalian organism (see, Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs, pp. 7-9, 21-24, Elsevier, Amsterdam 1985). Prodrugs include acid derivatives well know to practitioners of the art, such as, for example, esters prepared by reaction of the parent acid with a suitable alcohol, or amides prepared by reaction of the parent acid compound with a substituted or unsubstituted amine, or acid anhydrides, or mixed anhydrides. Simple aliphatic or aromatic esters, amides and anhydrides derived from acidic groups pendant on the compounds of this invention are preferred prodrugs. In some cases it is desirable to prepare double ester type prodrugs such as (acyloxy)alkyl esters or ((alkoxycarbonyl)oxy)alkylesters. Preferred are the C₁ to C₈ alkyl, C₂-C₈ alkenyl, aryl, C₇-C₁₂ substituted aryl, and C₇-C₁₂ arylalkyl esters of the compounds of the invention.

It is also to be understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “isomers”. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers”.

Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers”. When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (−)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”.

The compounds of this invention may possess one or more asymmetric centers; such compounds can therefore be produced as individual (R)- or (S)-stereoisomers or as mixtures thereof. Unless indicated otherwise, the description or naming of a particular compound in the specification and claims is intended to include both individual enantiomers and mixtures, racemic or otherwise, thereof. The methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the separation of stereoisomers are well-known in the art.

Such examples include, but are not limited to, choline ester derivatives and the like, N-alkylmorpholine esters and the like.

Other derivatives of the compounds of this invention have activity in both their acid and acid derivative forms, but the acid sensitive form often offers advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in the mammalian organism (see, Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs, pp. 7-9, 21-24, Elsevier, Amsterdam 1985). Prodrugs include acid derivatives well know to practitioners of the art, such as, for example, esters prepared by reaction of the parent acid with a suitable alcohol, or amides prepared by reaction of the parent acid compound with a substituted or unsubstituted amine, or acid anhydrides, or mixed anhydrides. Simple aliphatic or aromatic esters, amides and anhydrides derived from acidic groups pendant on the compounds of this invention are preferred prodrugs. In some cases it is desirable to prepare double ester type prodrugs such as (acyloxy)alkyl esters or ((alkoxycarbonyl)oxy)alkylesters. Preferred are the C₁ to C₈ alkyl, C₂-C₈ alkenyl, aryl, C₇-C₁₂ substituted aryl, and C₇-C₁₂ arylalkyl esters of the compounds of the invention.

When formulated as a ointment, the active ingredients will typically be combined with either a paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredients may be formulated in a cream with, for example an oil-in-water cream base. Such transdermal formulations are well-known in the art and generally include additional ingredients to enhance the dermal penetration of stability of the active ingredients or the formulation. All such known transdermal formulations and ingredients are included within the scope of this invention.

The compounds of this invention can also be administered by a transdermal device. Accordingly, transdermal administration can be accomplished using a patch either of the reservoir or porous membrane type, or of a solid matrix variety.

GENERAL SYNTHETIC PROCEDURES

The compounds of this invention can be prepared from readily available starting materials using the following general methods and procedures. It will be appreciated that where typical or preferred process conditions (i.e., reaction temperatures, times, mole ratios of reactants, solvents, pressures, etc.) are given, other process conditions can also be used unless otherwise stated. Optimum reaction conditions may vary with the particular reactants or solvent used, but such conditions can be determined by one skilled in the art by routine optimization procedures.

Additionally, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, conventional protecting groups may be necessary to prevent certain functional groups from undergoing undesired reactions. The choice of a suitable protecting group for a particular functional group as well as suitable conditions for protection and deprotection are well known in the art. For example, numerous protecting groups, and their introduction and removal, are described in T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, Second Edition, Wiley, New York, 1991, and references cited therein.

The target compounds are synthesized by known reactions outlined in the following schemes. The products are isolated and purified by known standard procedures. Such procedures include (but are not limited to) recrystallization, column chromatography or HPLC. The target compounds, for example, may be prepared by the reaction of an appropriately substituted halopyridine with an appropriately functionalized carboxy boronic acid to obtain the desired biaryl carboxylic acid. The carboxylic acid intermediate thus obtained can be conveniently converted to its corresponding amide by activation followed by reacting with an appropriately substituted amine. The products are isolated and purified by known standard procedures. Such procedures include (but are not limited to) recrystallization, column chromatography or HPLC.

EXAMPLE 2 A Representative Synthesis of Benzamides Using an Automated Parallel Synthesis Method

The appropriate benzoic acid (2 mmol) was dissolved or suspended in 15 ml of chloroform and treated with 20 mmol of thionyl chloride. The reaction mixture was refluxed for fifteen minutes and the solvents were removed under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in 4 ml of anhydrous chloroform and 60 μl (30 μmole) of this solution was added to each well of the 96 well glass plates. Appropriate amine was then added to the corresponding well (60 μmole), followed by N,N-diisopropylethylamine (120 μmole). The plate was then heated at 65° C. for 15 minutes. The solvents were removed using an HT-12 Genevac centrifugal evacuator and 100 μl of DMSO was added to each well and the compounds were transferred to a 96-well polypropylene reaction plate. The plates were then sealed using an ABgene plate sealer and submitted to LC-MS purification.

General Method for Automated parallel LC-MS Purification of Libraries

The libraries were purified using a Perkin Elmer API100 mass spectrometer coupled to Shimadzu LC pumps. The chromatographic method employed was 10-100% gradient of acetonitrile to water over 8 minutes at a flow rate of 6 ml per minute. The column used was a 1×50 mm YMC C18 and the compounds were collected using a Gilson 204 fraction collector.

EXAMPLE 3 High Throughput Screening of VR1 Antagonists for Determination of In Vitro Efficacy Using a Calcium Imaging Assay

VR1 protein is a heat-gated cation channel that exchanges about 10 calcium ions for every sodium ion resulting in neuronal membrane depolarization and elevated intracellular calcium ion levels. Therefore the functional activity of compounds at the VR1 receptor may be determined by measuring changes in intracellular calcium levels in 293 cells expressing capsaicin-insensitive VR1 receptor variants. A dual wavelength ratiometric dye, Fura2, was used as an indicator of relative levels of calcium ions in a 96 well format using a bench top scanning fluorometer with integrated fluidics and temperature control (Flex Station, Molecular Devices).

A dual wavelength ratiometric dye, Fura2, was used as an indicator of relative levels of [Ca2+] in a 96 well format using a bench top scanning fluorometer with integrated fluidics and temperature control (Flex Station, Molecular Devices).

293 cells were grown on PDL coated 96-well black-walled plates, in the presence of a DMEM medium containing 5% Penstrep, 5% Glutamax, 200 ug/mL Hygromycin, 5 μg/mL Blasticide and 10% heat inactivated FBS. Prior to assay, the cells were loaded with 5 μg/mL Fura2 in normal saline solution at 37° C. for 40 minutes. Cells were then washed with normal saline to remove the dye.

The assay consists of two stages; a pre-treatment phase followed by a treatment phase.

50 μl of a compound solution was added to the cells (Pre-treatment). Immediately following, 50 μl of the test compound in a saline solution at pH 5.1 was added. Fura2 was excited at 340 and 380 nM to indicate relative calcium concentration. Changes in wavelength measurements were made throughout the course of the experiment in 4 second intervals over a period of 3 minutes. Responses were measured as peak fluorescence ratio after test compound addition minus baseline fluorescence ratio prior to pre-treatment and were calculated using SoftMaxPro softwareData were expressed as percentage inhibition calculated using Excel as follows: ${{Percentage}\quad{Inhibition}} = {\frac{\left( {{Compound}\quad{Response}} \right) - \left( {{Control}\quad{Response}} \right)}{\left( {{{Agonist}\quad{Response}} - {{Control}\quad{Response}}} \right)} \times 100}$

All compounds with percentage inhibition values greater than 75% are considered hits and earmarked for further investigation at lower concentrations. The relative strengths of the percentage inhibition values are set forth in Table 1.

EXAMPLE 4 Whole-Cell Patch Clamp Electrophysiology

Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons were recovered from either neonatal or adult rats and plated onto poly-D-lysine coated glass coverslips. The plated neurons were transferred into a chamber to allow drug solutions to be added to the cells using a computer-controlled solenoid-valve based perfusion system. The cells were imaged using standard DIC optics. Cells were patched using finely-pulled glass electrodes. Voltage-clamp electrophysiology experiments were carried out using an Axon Instruments Multiclamp amplified controlled by pCLAMP8 software.

The cells were placed into a whole-cell voltage clamp and help at a voltage of −80 mV while monitoring the membrane current in gap-free recording mode. 500 nM capsaicin was added for 30 seconds as a control. Test compounds at various concentrations at ranging from (10-1000 nM) were added to the cells for 1 minute prior to a 30 second capsaicin application. Differences between control experiments and drug positive capsaicin experiments were used to determine the efficacy of each test compound. All compounds that inhibited capsaicin induced current greater than 50% were considered positives. The data obtained for compounds 24 and 18 are set forth in Table 2, below. FIG. 3 represents a dose response curve demonstrating the increasing effectiveness of compound 18 in inhibiting a capsaicin induced calcium ion influx at higher concentrations tested, namely 50 nM, 100 nM and 250 nM. Likewise, FIG. 4 represents a dose response curve demonstrating the increasing effectiveness of Compound 24 in inhibiting a capsaicin induced calcium ion influx at higher concentrations tested, namely 20 nM, 40 nM, 100 nM and 200 nM.

EXAMPLE 5 Plasma Extravasation Study: A measure of Neurogenic Inflammation

The density of TRPV1 expression is enhanced during an inflammatory condition. Therefore TRPV1 antagonists have been investigated in three different models of inflammatory pain, namely plasma extravasation, paw lick assay, and thermal hyperalgesia.

Methods

Sprague-Dawley male rats obtained from Charles River, San Diego, Calif. were dosed with compound 18. Two hours later, they were injected with Evan's Blue (10 ml/kg or 150 μl). Thirty minutes after I.V. injection, 10 μl of 25 mM capsaicin in 100% ethanol was applied to the left ear of the animal, followed by 10 μl vehicle (100% EtOH) to the right ear of the mouse. Fifteen minutes later, the animal was sacrificed using CO₂. Each ear was removed, placed into labeled tubes and weighed. The dye was then extracted from the ears by drying the ears at 55-60° overnight. The following day, 250 μl formamide was added and left at 55-60° overnight.

An Evans blue standard curve was first generated (2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 mg/μl). Samples (with ears) were spun for at least 1 minute before addition of 100 μl of each sample to appropriate wells. Samples were analyzed in a plate holder by SOFTmax PRO. Standards were graphed to generate a standard curve and then used to extrapolate Evans Blue concentrations of experimental samples.

Results

Compound 18 at a dose of 30 mg/kg significantly blocks capsaicin induced plasma extravasation in rats. FIG. 2 demonstrates the results in μg EB/mg tissue (Evans Blue). The results are represented for the delivery vehicle HPBCD, control compound BCTC, Compound 18 at two concentrations and capsaicin alone in vehicle.

EXAMPLE 6 Paw Lick Assay

This assay was performed to test the ability of Compound 18 to inhibit the response to capsaicin challenge.

Methods

Animals were acclimatized at least 2 days prior to testing by placing them in a behavioral chamber for one hour. On the day of testing, animals were trained for 30-60 minutes prior to dosing. Animals were dosed with 30 mg/kg of Compound 18 at least 30 minutes prior to testing and then placed in behavioral chambers for acclimatization. Animals were then placed into a falcon tube restrainer and injected with a 0.16 mg/ml capsaicin solution (or vehicle) into the plantar surface of their paw. Animals were then returned to the behavior chamber and monitored for paw licking behavior (including paw and leg licking behavior) over the next 5 minute interval.

Results

Compound 18 (30 mg/kg) significantly inhibited pawlick response induced by treatment with capsaicin. FIG. 5 demonstrates the pawlick times per second when a delivery vehicle is administered alone, capsaicin is administered, capsaicin is administered with a control compound, and capsaicin is administered with Compound 18.

EXAMPLE 7 Thermal Hyperalgesia

Sprague-Dawley male rats obtained from Charles River, San Diego, Calif. were purchased at 150-175 g, and held for at least one week before testing. Pain was induced by injecting 100 μl of 2% carrageenan in 0.9% saline sub-Q into the right ventral hindpaw while the animals were under isofluorane anesthesia. Animals were then dosed one hour after with different concentrations of Compound 18 (3, 10, and 30 mg/kg). Two hours later, after acclimatizing in testing chambers for 20-30 minutes, animals were tested on both hindpaws for latency of paw withdrawal using a thermal testing apparatus. 2-3 trials were conducted with 10 minutes between trials. As demonstrated in FIG. 6, a dose of Compound 18 at 30 mg/kg significantly increased latency of paw withdrawal demonstrating reversal of thermal hyperalagesia. The figure depicts the time in seconds until animals withdraw from thermal stimulation at baseline and two hours after administration of delivery vehicle, control compound, and three concentrations of Compound 18.

EXAMPLE 8 Pharmacokinetic Profile

The pharmacokinetic profile of Compound 18 was evaluated following intravenous and oral administration in rats. Sprague-Dawley male rats obtained from Charles River, San Diego, Calif. were acclimated for 24 hours.

Compound 18 was formulated at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL for IV administration at a 1 mg/kg dose and 1 mg/mL for oral administration at a 5 mg/kg dose. All animals were weighed before dosing. The body weight was used to calculate the actual dose for each animal. The intravenous dose was administered through the jugular vein catheter in less than 1 minute. The oral dose volume was 1.5 mL for all PO rats administered through oral lavage.

For IV dosing, blood samples were collected using a pre-heparinized syringe via the carotid artery catheter before dosing and at t=2, 5, 15, 30, 60, 120, 180, 360, and 480 minutes post dosing. For PO dosing, blood samples were collected using a pre-heparinized syringe via the carotid artery catheter before dosing and at t=5, 15, 30, 60, 120, 180, 360, and 480 minutes post dosing. 250 uL of blood was obtained at each time point from each animal. Equal volumes of 0.9% normal saline were replaced to prevent dehydration. The whole blood samples were maintained on ice until centrifugation. Blood samples were centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4° C., and the upper plasma layer was transferred into a clean vial and store at −80° C.

The plasma was analyzed. Compound 18 demonstrates Oral Bioavailability (% F) of 30.06%, a half life (t½) of 3.71 hours, Clearance (Cl) of 0.53 L/h/Kg, a Volume of distribution (Vd) of 2.82 L/Kg, a Tmax of 180 minutes, and a Cmax of 1.75 mM.

EXAMPLE 9 Aqueous Solubility

Equilibrium solubility was measured in a pH 2.0 isotonic solution of NaCl/HCl and a pH 7.4 aqueous buffer. The pH 2.0 solution was prepared by adjusting the saline solution to a pH of 2.0 using HCl. The pH 7.4 buffer was prepared by adjusting the pH of a 0.07 M solution of NaH₂PO₄to pH 7.4 with 10 N NaOH. Each buffer had an ionic strength of 0.15. At least 1 mg of powder was combined with 1 ml of buffer to make ≧1 mg/ml mixture. This sample was shaken for ≧2 hours and left to stand overnight at room temperature. The samples were then filtered through a 0.45-μm Nylon syringe filter that was first saturated with the sample. The filtrate was sampled twice, consecutively. All samples were assayed by LC/MS using electrospray ionization. The typical range of the assay is greater than 1 mg/mL to less than 0.0002 mg/mL, depending on analytical sensitivity. The results demonstrated solubility of <0.0002 mg/ml at pH 2.0 and low solubility at pH 7.4.

The partition coefficient, Log(D), between water-saturated 1-octanol and pH 7.4 buffer was determined for Compound 18. The pH 7.4 buffer was prepared by adjusting the pH of a 0.07 M solution of NaH₂PO₄ to pH 7.4 with 10 N NaOH. 15 μL of a 10 mM stock solution of test article were pipetted in duplicate, into test tubes containing 750 μL each of 1-octanol and pH 7.4 buffer. Then 3 μL of 50 mM testosterone was also added to each tube. Then the tubes were rotated for about one hour using a benchtop rotator. Following the rotation, the tubes sat on the bench top for about 1 hour to allow the layers to separate.

Thereafter, 400 μL of the octanol (top) layer was removed and placed into a test tube. Next 400 μL of the aqueous (bottom) layer was removed and placed into a test tube. The following serial dilutions were then made of each layer using 50% methanol as the diluent: Octanol—100×, 1000×, and 10,000× Aqueous—1x, 10O×, & 100×. The 100×, 1000× and 10,000× diluted octanol samples and the undiluted, 10× and 100× diluted aqueous samples were then aliquoted into appropriate vials.

A standard curve of test article and testosterone was prepared using 50% methanol at the following concentrations: 2, 0.6, 0.2, 0.06, 0.02, 0.006, and 0.002 μM. The samples were analyzed by LC/MS monitoring both test article and testosterone. Log (D) was calculated for each duplicate sample by taking the calculated concentration of the least diluted sample for each phase that fell within the standard curve using the following equation: Log(D)=Log 10(Calc. Conc. in Organic Phase/Calc. Conc. in Aqueous Phase). The results demonstrated Log (D) values at pH 7.4 of less than 4.7 for Compound 18.

EXAMPLE 10 Analysis of Plasma Protein Binding

Membranes from Harvard/Amika with a molecular weight cutoff of 5,000 were rinsed with dH₂O then placed in pH 7.4 PBS supplied by Gibco. The membranes were allowed to soak for 1 hour. A stock of the test article was pooled with Warfarin, Atropine at 2 mM in DMSO. The test article was then dosed into human plasma in sodium citrate, Rat Plasma, and Mouse Plasma to a final 10 μM concentration (0.5% DMSO v/v). The pre-soaked membranes were then placed into dialysis chambers. 500 μL of PBS was added to one side of the chamber, and 500 μL of the Matrix containing the test article was added to the other side of the chamber.

The chambers were then placed into an enclosed, heated rocker, which was pre-warmed to 37° C. and allowed to reach equilibrium for at least 22 hours. After 22 hours both sides were sampled. 100 μL of the donor side was added to 500 μL of PBS. 100 μL of the PBS side was added to 20 μL of fresh matrix. Samples then were crashed with 1:1 Acetonitrile and centrifuged at 10,000 RPM for 10 minutes. 100 μL of supernatant was placed into LC/MS vials for analysis.

Standards were prepared in a 1:5 plasma: PBS mixture at 5, 1.5, 0.5, 0.15, 0.05, 0.015 and 0.005 μM concentrations. The samples and standards were placed into HPLC vials and assayed by LC/MS. Protein binding values were calculated as follows: % Bound=[(Concentration in Donor−Concentration in Receiver)/(Concentration in Donor)]×100. % Recovery=[(Concentration in donor+Concentration in Receiver)]/(Concentration in Normal Initial)]×100

Compound 18 had high human plasma protein binding of more than 99.8%. Compound 18 protein binding in rat and mouse plasma could not be established due to low recovery of the test article.

EXAMPLE 11 Cytochrome p450 Inhibition Assessment

The ability of test compounds to inhibit five major human cytochrome p450 isozymes was evaluated. Cytochrome p450 inhibition assays were performed on 96-well microtiter assay plates according to the protocols described in Gentest P450 inhibition instruction manuals. The assays were performed in duplicate at 8 concentrations with the upper concentration of 100 μM followed by a 1:3 serial dilution. Reactions were initiated by the addition of 100 μL of enzyme/substrate mix to 100 μL of cofactor/serial dilution mix, and terminated by addition of 75 μL of a 4:1 acentonitrile: 0.5 M Tris base solution or by 2N NaOH for CYP3A4/DBF. Fluorescence was measured using a fluorescence plate reader (FLUOstar model 403, BMG Lab Technologies, Durham, N.C.). For reactions with inhibition greater than 50%, IC₅₀ values were determined by fitting the data to the Hill equation using software GraphPad Prism (Version 4.02, GraphPad Software, San Diego, Calif.).

Known CYP inhibitors inhibited respective CYP enzymes in the expected manners, indicating that CYP enzymes were active and responsive. Compound 18 did not significantly inhibit 2C9, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 activities in the concentration range tested. It inhibited CYP2C19 activity. The IC₅₀ value was estimated to be 26.85 μM. It also inhibited CYP1A2 activity with an estimated IC₅₀ of 97.45 μM.
